We use household-level data to explain the postponing of consumption despite rapid income growth. Tracing cohorts over time indicates virtually no consumption smoothing over the life cycle. Saving rates have increased across all demographic groups, although the age-profile of savings has an unusual U-shaped pattern, with saving rates being the highest among the youngest and oldest households in recent years. These patterns are best explained by the rising private burden of expenditures on housing, education, and health care. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/145 606 $aSaving and investment$zChina$xEconometric models 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zChina$xEconometric models 606 $aInfrastructure$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aDemography$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Elderly$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Handicapped$2imf 606 $aNon-labor Market Discrimination$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aEconomic Development: Urban, Rural, Regional, and Transportation Analysis$2imf 606 $aHousing$2imf 606 $aPopulation & demography$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aAging$2imf 606 $aDisposable income$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aPopulation aging$2imf 606 $aNational income$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y1976-2000$xEconometric models 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions$y2000-$xEconometric models 607 $aChina, People's Republic of$2imf 615 0$aSaving and investment$xEconometric models. 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$xEconometric models. 615 7$aInfrastructure 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aDemography 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aEconomics of the Elderly 615 7$aEconomics of the Handicapped 615 7$aNon-labor Market Discrimination 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aEconomic Development: Urban, Rural, Regional, and Transportation Analysis 615 7$aHousing 615 7$aPopulation & demography 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aAging 615 7$aDisposable income 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aPopulation aging 615 7$aNational income 615 7$aSaving and investment 700 $aChamon$b Marcos$01090692 701 $aPrasad$b Eswar$0124415 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bResearch Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788236203321 996 $aWhy are Saving Rates of Urban Households in China Rising$93704191 997 $aUNINA
